Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of additive formulations, more particularly to an additive formulation used to reduce or to prevent microbially induced corrosion in concrete, in cementitious material, or a combination thereof.
  • Microbially Induced Corrosion in Concrete is an immense problem that causes premature failure of concrete structures that are exposed constantly to sewage and similar corrosive environments.
  • Premature failure and the need for replacement is extremely costly since in such infrastructure projects, the majority of cost is not the materials (concrete) but in the construction project (labor, digging, equipment, etc.).
  • Premature failure is also unbudgeted by municipal authorities and is therefore undesired. In some cases, failure can have serious environmental, safety, and infrastructural impact. For example, a failure of a sewage pipe can leach toxic contents into groundwater, or cause sink holes or other water pathways that can compromise building structures in the vicinity.
  • Quat silanes (also commonly referred to as Silyl Quats or 1-Octadecanaminium, N,N-dimethyl-N-(3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl)-, chloride) have been proposed in the industry to prevent, through antimicrobial action, the bacteria from fostering, thereby reducing or eliminating the sulfuric acid attack on the concrete.
  • quat silanes are Microban AEM5772, which is 72% active, and Microban AEM 5772-5 which is 3.6% active.
  • the present invention relates to an additive formulation for reduction or prevention of microbially induced corrosion in concrete, in a cementitious material (such as mortar or grout), or a combination thereof.
  • an additive formulation comprises: (1) a Quat Silane (QS) (also commonly referred to as a Silyl Quat or 1-Octadecanaminium, N,N-dimethyl-N-(3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl)-, chloride), preferably as an antibacterial additive to combat Thiobacillus and other bacteria; (2) a fungicide, preferably to combat fusarium and other fungal species; and (3) an optional additive, preferably to offset side effects of QS in concrete.
  • QS Quat Silane
  • fungicide preferably to combat fusarium and other fungal species
  • an optional additive preferably to offset side effects of QS in concrete.
  • Non-limiting examples of fungicides include, but are not limited to, Sodium OrthophenylPhenol (Microban P2); Imazalil Sulphate (Microban IF4); diiodomethyl-p-tolyl sulfone; carbamates including, but not limited to, Iodopropynyl butylcarbamate (IPBC), carbendazim, and a combination thereof; isothiazolinones including but not limited to, OIT (2-Octyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one), DCOIT (4,5-Dichloro-2-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one), BBIT (N-butyl-1, 2-benzisothiazolin-3-one), and a combination thereof; azoles including, but not limited to, tebuconazole and propiconazole; chlorothalonil, zinc pyrithione, copper pyrithione, sodium pyrithione, and
  • fungicides in concrete generally do not.
  • the fungicides may be vulnerable to leaching by water.
  • the degree of vulnerability is a function of the water solubility of the fungicide, higher solubility leads to higher leaching.
  • One of the benefits of adding QS to a concrete mixture is a large increase in the resistance of the concrete to the flow of water through its void spaces. Restricting this flow of water also inhibits the ability of the water to leach the fungicides (and any other water-soluble chemicals) from the concrete, greatly reducing any migration of the concrete. This will greatly increase the durability of the antifungal protection as well as reduce the release of these chemicals into the sewage system.
  • the amount of the formulation in concrete may vary based on the severity of the environment and the desired level of protection. Total formulation active levels between 75 ppm and 2500 ppm based on the weight of cement in the concrete (exclusive of the aggregate), for example, will provide good protection based on the MIC levels measured.
  • the ratio of the QS active to the selected fungicide(s) in the formulation is in a range of about 10:1 to about 1:10, preferably in a range of about 5:1 to about 1:5.
  • defoamer preferably from about 2 weight % to about 25 weight % of the amount of the QS in the formulation.
  • Adding antifungal efficacy to the concrete treatment for MICC is a novel and important addition to the mode of action of this formulation and is significantly different than the products that are currently available. It was surprisingly found that pairing a fungicide with QS as an antibacterial active inhibits leaching and improves the durability of any antifungal actives due in part to the hydrophobicity effect of the QS in concrete.

  • microbe or “microbial” should be interpreted to refer to any of the microscopic organisms studied by microbiologists or found in the use environment of a treated article. Such organisms include, but are not limited to, bacteria and fungi as well as other single-celled organisms such as mold, mildew and algae. Viral particles and other infectious agents are also included in the term microbe.
  • Antimicrobial further should be understood to encompass both microbicidal and microbistatic properties. That is, the term comprehends microbe killing, leading to a reduction in number of microbes, as well as a retarding effect of microbial growth, wherein numbers may remain more or less constant (but nonetheless allowing for slight increase/decrease).
  • antimicrobial to denote a broad spectrum activity (e.g. against bacteria and fungi).
  • efficacy against a particular microorganism or taxonomic rank the more focused term will be used (e.g. antifungal to denote efficacy against fungal growth in particular).
  • cementitious material is interchangeable for purposes of the present invention.
  • the term “or” as used in this disclosure and the appended claims is intended to mean an inclusive “or” rather than an exclusive “or.” That is, unless specified otherwise, or clear from the context, the phrase “X employs A or B” is intended to mean any of the natural inclusive permutations. That is, the phrase “X employs A or B” is satisfied by any of the following instances: X employs A; X employs B; or X employs both A and B.
  • the articles “a” and “an” as used in this application and the appended claims should generally be construed to mean “one or more” unless specified otherwise or clear from the context to be directed to a singular form.
  • the additive formulation of the present invention is useful to treat concrete structures that are susceptible to microbially induced corrosion (MICC) (e.g. culverts, pipes, underground drains, manholes structures, etc.) in order to slow or prevent MICC, extending the useful life of such components.
  • MICC microbially induced corrosion
  • Replacing buried sewer components is extremely expensive, so extending the engineering life of the pipes and components is extremely important.
  • the additive formulation is to be formulated with fungicides as well as the QS (which is mostly antibacterial), considerably broadening the range of protection that it offers. QS is extremely effective against fungi in the wet state, but not as strong in the dry state.
  • the additive formulation comprises ingredients that counteract any negative side effects of QS on the concrete products.
  • the additive formulation comprises: (1) QS, as an antibacterial additive to combat Thiobacillus and other bacteria; (2) at least one additive to offset a side effect(s) of QS in concrete; and (3) at least one fungicide to combat fusarium and other fungal species.
  • the ratio of QS to fungicide is in a range of about 10:1 to about 1:10, preferably in a range of about 5:1 to about 1:5.
  • These ingredients are preferentially mixed in a non-aqueous or water-free, maximum concentration formulation to prevent QS hydrolysis and extend the shelf life of the formulation, as well as to reduce the volume of the material that would be required to be shipped and stored at a major worksite.
  • a maximum concentration formulation can have, for example, active QS in a range of from about 3.6 weight % active to 72 weight % active.
  • an RTU (Ready-To-Use) formulation can be prepared by dilution with water for ease of use on-site as long as shelf life restrictions are observed to avoid degradation by hydrolysis.
  • the formulation of the present invention is dispersible in water.
  • Examples of an additive to offset a side effect(s) of QS in concrete include, but are not limited to, a defoamer, an accelerant (such as calcium nitrate and/or sodium thiocyanate), a corrosion inhibitor (such as calcium nitrite), an additive to reduce water permeability (such as a crystallization admixture), an additive to control slump/flowability (such as a superplasticizer), or a combination thereof.
  • Non-limiting examples of defoamers include, but are not limited to, polyether amine, ethoxylated alcohol, or silicone-based defoamers, tributyl phosphate, or a combination thereof.
  • QS QS-resistant high pH environment
  • fungicides that might otherwise be susceptible to hydrolytic instability due to the high pH and greatly reduces water gradients and capillary movement in the concrete and thus inhibits the fungicide from being leached out.

  • FIG. 7 is a graphical depiction of percent sample weight increase per time illustrating results of water uptake testing on 80% Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and 20% (GGBS or slag) concrete samples treated with a range of QS/OIT formulations with (WD) and without (ND) incorporated defoamer.
  • the ratio in each formulation description was the ratio of QS to OIT active.
  • the dose level of the QS/defoamer (gal/yd) was measured as the gallons per cubic yard of concrete of a 3.6% total active QS/OIT formulation in water.
  • the sample pucks were dried in a 70° C. oven until the weight was stable for 24 h, then immersed into 30° C. water with their weight measured periodically to determine water uptake. Two puck samples were averaged per point. The result was expressed as a present weight gain to indicate water pickup and penetration into the sample.
